TL;DR: Riot is updating how their sales work for the first few months of the new year.
In 2019, Riot will be changing up how they handle sales on skins and other content. They'll be focusing on more favorites like Your Shop, event passes, and the Essence Emporium. They’ll also be experimenting with weekly sales over the next few months.
Overall, the total amount of content going on sale will go up. You’ll see the balance shift towards newer and higher quality skins, but Riot will still look to keep a healthy presence of champions and classics in the mix. There will also be some weeks that look pretty different from what you’ve seen before.
Some features of the new weekly sales they’re testing:
Every Monday at noon PT, there will be at least 20 items on sale in the store
The front page of the store will feature sales below “Popular items” instead of in sale schedule announcements (see Riot's refund policy here)
Everything eligible for weekly sales, early sales, or essence emporiums could be included in a sale
They’ll have at least two dedicated essence emporiums a year
Monthly bundles will be cut from the rotation

Has there been any updates on when the essence emporiums will be scheduled? All the news I have read is very vague, but considering we just had a My Shop it seems to be soon.

A week ago Riot said it'll be coming in "the next few months". That's the most specific time frame I could find.
